This cake turned out very well and it is actually vegan! I didn't want to use eggs or milk so I found this one recipe that I followed verbatim (which is something I never do) and I can't believe it but it turned out to be fantastical! Here is the recipe for two cake pans. This can easily be divided in half. Mix 2 1/4c flour, 2c sugar, 1c cocao, and 2tsp baking soda. In a separate bowl mix 1tbl vanilla, 2/3c vegetable oil, 2tsp white vinegar, and 2c cold water. Mix the wet into the dry and bake at 350 for about 45+ min. The original recipe said to bake for only 30 min but that is totally fucking wrong. This is so easy I don't see how you can't make it and you probably already have everything you need in your pantry. You would never even figure this cake is vegan as it tastes really, really good and has a wonderful structure. I would highly suggest making this cake. I think for the party though I will make this recipe into cupcakes. Finally, the icing is just 3/4c heavy cream simmered with 12oz of chopped chocolate added at the end. Eat it.

I can tell by the picture that it has a perfect texture.
Cool, I have been looking for a simple but quality cake recipe to use for my niece's upcoming birthday party.
This is the one I'm going to use!
I'm making strawberry frosting though.
it really is amazingly good. Just be sure to bake it long enough!
The secret ingredient is rum isn't it?
I once made a chilled vegan avocado soup and was surprised at how creamy it was.
That actually looks good?
I'm more or less with Alex on this one. It doesn't look too good to me. But then again I just eat normal food with all the bad stuff in it that will kill me as soon as possible.

Losers. I am going to try something else too so hold your horses.
Awww... happy birthday to the cute baby and his not so perfect daddy who fucks up now and then along with the rest of the fuck ups=)
The cake looks delish!!
Happy Birthday anyway, Baby. Had I been your dad I woulda just posted the first cake saying Baby couldn't wait and dug a chunk out of the middle because it was so damn good. lol.

Ah, but you are forgetting that honesty is the best comedy.
Finally you made something worth writing about.
fit for a baby...
Wait, you eat bacon and you're baby is vegan? Am I missing something???
My baby is not vegan. I just wanted the cake to be healthy.
it's my birthday Sunday. I'll try that asap! ty.
Happy birthday TruthSeeker!
Okay... you've forgotten something KEY to first birthdays.
Whatever cake you make -- vegan or meat lovers or whatever -- it has to get your child disgustingly, thrillingly messy. For the pictures, of course!
What I'm telling you is that you need some blue frosting on there. Or fuschia.
...definitely fuschia.
Now I am leaning towards a citrus cupcake and icing so it might be an interesting color!
Of course if you put the heavy cream icing on it, it's no longer vegan. But, whatever! It looks good!

Wait...heavy cream is not vegan?
